<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>the cheapest i have found to park at BWI is 7.65 per day (econopark express).. i have to drive to the airport and then allow shuttle time to and from the airport at both ends.. pretty good w/ this service as they take you directly from/to your car.. but.. you've got 15 minutes at least at either end at the airport (not including transportation time to/from the airport)</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can however get to BWI for $1.65 by hopping on a Hopkins shuttle to Penn and then taking the light rail. You get on at Penn and take it 1 stop to Mt Royal and switch trains. After you are on the 2nd light rail its about a 45 min ride to the terminal. OR from Penn you can take MARC and then a shuttle from the train station to the terminal. </div>
<div><br></div><div>You can also get to either national or dulles via public transportation. Hopkins shuttle to Penn/MARC and then to National/METRO (travel time is about 2 hours). This takes you directly to the terminal. MARC is 7 bucks and metro is $3.65 or so (non-rush)... </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you want to get to Dulles take METRO to Arlington and from there their is a 3 dollar non-stop shuttle (public transit or METRO-bus) right to the terminal. So, you can get to Dulles for about $15 (and not have to deal w/ traffic either!)</div>
<div><br></div><div>From my perspective, as important to me as time in getting to the airport is AVOIDING connecting flights. In my searches for travel now I include dulles, national, bwi and even consider philadelphia and newark. I'd much rather spend the time on the ground here, and near public transportation that can get me home rather than spending the time sitting in some airport HUB (chicago, atlanta, charlotte) and running the risk of missing the connection and not getting home at all. I've heard too many travel horror stories/experienced my own.</div>

Light rail goes there, too! Time is worth money, as well.<br>

There's a stop on Washington's MetroRail Yellow Line right at the National Airport terminal. Quite easy to get to.<br>
<br>
You could do the whole trip from Charles Village via public transit. Take MARC from Penn Station to DC's Union Station, take the Red Line two stops to Chinatown, switch to the Yellow Line there.<br>
<br>
Google Maps actually will show you transit direction from anywhere to anywhere in the region. Very useful.<br>

I just found out that flights out of national are often much much less expensive than some flights out of BWI.<br>
<br>
The problem is how does "one" get to National.<br>
<br>
Has anyone done this using public transportation for at least the latter part of the drive??<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
